I’m pleased to say that the next in our series of talks at Mortimer House will be with Oliver and Carl from Rubato, on March 31st. These events have a really nice atmosphere, with everyone milling around, browsing the products and chatting to ...

Introducing: The PS Undershirt
For the past five years or so, I’ve been wearing Hamilton & Hare’s tubular T-shirts under things. They’re what I wear underneath knitwear, what I wear under a shirt, even what I sleep in. They’re the best fine-cotton...

Introducing: The new Reversible Suede Bomber
The new version of our reversible suede bomber jacket - reversible so you can turn it inside out at the first hint of rain - is finally here. Much as I liked the previous version, the process of designing the Linen Harrington - essentially from scr...

Tobacco, black and white (some T-shirts in stock)
You know that feeling when you realise a new purchase unleashes potential in an old, beloved garment? Like getting a yellow oxford and realising it doesn’t just look good with jeans, but also with your favourite herringbone jacket? OK, I&rsquo...

Drake’s corduroy Mk.I Games Blazer: Review
This is the Mk.1 Games Blazer from Drake’s in russet corduroy. To be honest, I’ve lost track of the numbers and which style each is, but the important thing is that this one's a fairly regular jacket with notched lapels - not the version...

Looks nice Shem, good colour and the material and cut will be the same in approach as my cord: heavier, coarser, more casual...
The steamy social experiment that is a PS party
I’ve learnt a couple of things about glass-fronted shops recently. One is they magnify heat: even on a cold day, an hour’s worth of afternoon sun heats up the space to an incredible degree. I’ve no idea how this is workable in the...

Introducing: The Fielding shearling coat
(NB: The Fielding is available to try in a couple of sizes in the PS pop-up, which runs from today until Saturday at 20 Savile Row. Details here.) Cromford Leather on London’s Chiltern Street make the most beautiful leather coats and jackets. ...

Double brown: Just a touch less subtle
I think there's a useful variable in considerations of how we dress that we haven't talked about explicitly before: how subtle or showy clothes are. I might write a longer piece on it at some point, but I think it's essentially a spectrum from the v...

Doek tennis shoes: How great things age
I have had these Doek canvas trainers - what could usefully be called tennis shoes - for five years. They have been worn once or twice a week, every week, during that period. So hundreds of times. With bare feet in the summer, they've occasionally ...

Match in comments:
Without the red stripe, yes I probably agree. There is something more tennis shoe and plimsoll-like about the low profile of the Doek though...
Cashmere Rugby restock, with navy
The Cashmere Rugby - our reintroduction of the classic four-ply quality of Scottish polo - has just been restocked. A dark navy has been added to last year's flannel grey, covering pretty much all the bases for a slightly classic, slightly better-d...

Introducing: The navy Donegal Coat
The cut and contours of this, the PS Donegal Coat, will be familiar to most readers. So I’ll focus on the colour to begin with. This is our navy iteration, and it is primarily a large, 3x3 herringbone weave that alternates between navy and bl...

I wouldn't try and pin it down too precisely John. 10cm is quite a lot, but see what you think for yourself - try some coats on and consider the lengths. You're looking to weigh up the drama and style of a longer coat, a...
The olive PS Trench is back
Three weeks ago, I received my new olive PS Trench Coat. I did have one years ago, but it was a size 3 and I’m definitely more of a 4. I also prefer the belt system on the new model. Wearing that coat over the past couple of weeks has reminde...

Hi Simon. Had a chance to visit the shop yesterday, and try on both the Trench and the Bridge Coat. Have to admit, I wasn’t expecting to like the Bridge Coat as much as I did (or indeed, at all; the pictures in the 201...
We’re coming to New York!
So this is exciting. For the first time, Permanent Style Presents is coming to New York. A mini version of the London pop-up shop, it will be led by Rubato and PS, with very special guest Fred Nieddu, aka Taillour. We will be at 54 Mercer Street on ...

New colours in the Arran scarf and PS watch caps
The popular PS Watch Caps and exclusive Arran scarves from Begg & Co - introduced last year - have just been restocked on the PS Shop, with two additional colours. It was a real struggle last year to get things in on time, with delays not ju...

Black tops and tonal combinations under
In many ways, today's outfit is a natural extension of things we’ve been talking about recently. There was, back on August 12, our discussion about wearing all black , which has some bearing here. The outfit is not all black, of course, but i...
Black tops and tonal combinations under
Match in comments:
Yes they usually are - it sounds like your issue isn't really one of quality, just one of style. These older-fashioned T-shirts will last longer and soften up better, but they are thicker and made with a stronger necklin...
Coming up on the PS Shop this Autumn/Winter
At the beginning of each season recently (spring/summer, autumn/winter) we've been sending out summaries of upcoming products to PS Shop customers. These go to anyone on a waiting list for a product, and anyone that has signed up to marketing emails...

Rain: Cap and cordovan, or felt and suede
This may be a little niche, but it’s something that often stresses me out in the morning, so hopefully it will be of some use to others. My plans for what to wear on a particular day usually don’t account for rain. I might be going int...
